his mouth, although he listened thought
fully.
Certainly, come in," was Sheriff Mat
sons response to the request, and the
minister, at his own desire, was conducted
to the cell occupied by Parsons, with
whom he commenced to talk.
Meanwhile Spies had called for paper,
pen and ink, and was soon busily engaged
in writing. At fifteen minutes, past eight
O'Clock Mr.. Bolton, having passed just
eighteen minutes with Parsons, left the
cell. The Anarchist followed him to the
door, and then pulling it to, stood with
his hands behind him, apparently strain
ing his eyes to determine the personnel of
the crowd in the jailer's Office across the
corridor.
The preacher moved along the corridor
and stopped at the cell where Spies was
writing. The Anarchist looked up quickly,
but without a word or look of recognition
he returned his eyes to the paper before
him and his pen to its work. After stand
ing at the door for a few minutes in the
vain hope that Spies after all would con-
sent to admit him, Mr.. Bolton went to the
next cell which was occupied by Engel.
Here he was readily admitted, and at this
writing, 1925 a. M, is closeted with him.

were others to Citizen Engel. One re-
ceived from Nation, ILL.,, was directed to
Condemned Anarchists" and was given
to Spies. With eager hands the men tore
open the envelopes and read the COM
munications enclosed. There was a
momentary cloud upon Spies face
as he threw one of the letters
he had received upon the table.
He sat another moment in deep thought,
and then asked the death watch to send
for the sheriff. Mr.. Matson responded
with alacrity, and after brief whispered
conversation, the ex-editor handed over
| the two letters and the sheriff placed
| them in an inner pocket of his coat.
Spies also expressed a desire for a
draught of Rhine wine, and q messenger
| was dispatched across the street with in
structions to procure a quart of the best
quality.
Returning to his table Spies again COM
| menced to write, while Parsons, Engel
| and Fischer sat with a gloomy express
sion looking out into the corridor.
Word was brought in that Mrs. Parsons,
| Mrs. Holmes and two children, Mrs. En-
gle, Mary Engle and Edna Mueller, had
| come to the Illinois street guard and were
refused admittance. They then went to the
| CLARK street Gordon of police, but not having
passes were not permitted to pass. Word
| also came that they INDUCED in some
| vehement, yet fearful, talk about the exc
| cutionsof innocent men.

THANKS FOR THANKSGIVING.

Good morning, Old Thanksgiyingi
How do you do to-day?
I'm very glad to seesyou;

We children love you dearly,

For what I've learned, by trying
In earnest, boys can do.

And all the other dainties
That crowd the pantry shelf,
And don't forget, Thanksgiving,

A NATIONAL PARTY.
Good Reasons for the Enthusiasm Which
Greets Grover Cleveland

Greets Grover Cleveland
There is one point in connection
with President Cleveland's triumphal
tour through the West and South that
seems to have escaped attention.
No other President for thirty years
could have journeyed through every
part of the Union and received in every
State the same proofs of popular re-
spect and good will. In the dem
onstrations of regard for the present
Chief Magistrate there is no North, no
South, no East and no West, but one
Nation. ....
Why is this? 1t is because the party
that elected Grover Cleveland is Ma
tional party, while the party that has
elected all the other Presidents since
Buchanan has been and still is sec
tional. a
The Democratic party is the most
thoroughly National political organiza-
ton that has ever existed in this coun-
try. 1t f1ourishes in every State. and
in no State is the percentage of ma
jority against it a large one. On the
other hand, in many States the Re-
publican party is practically extinct.
In whole section of the Union it con-
sists in the main of mass of voters
whom, if white-skinned and living in
Massachusetts,, men like Senator Hoar
would certainly insist upon disfran-
chising. Yet, even with this body of
easily-led voters traditionally attached
to it, the Republican party in the South
| can scarcely be said to exist.
But the Democracy, though in nearly
half the States falling short of ma
jority, is of vigorous growth in all
Look at the figures. In the New En-
gland States Blaine's plurality over
Cleveland was less than ten per cent.
of the total vote. In the Middle States,
including Pennsylvania, which gave
Blaine his heaviest majority anywhere,
it was only two per cent. In the great
Northwest, including only one State
which voted for Cleveland. Blaine's
aggregate majority was only five per
cent of the total vote of that section.
On the Pacific coast. where every State
voted for Blaine. the proportion is
about the same. So it can be seen at
| a glance that there is no section of the
| Union where the Republican party very
strongly preponderates. But in many
States the Republican showing is beg
carly indeed. For example, in Texas,
the greatest, freest, most wide-awake
and enlightened State in the South,
inhabited very largely by people OF
Northern birth or their descendants,
the vote for Cleveland was over 1885,
600, while Blaine vote was but SO, 600.
Like this EN- pire State of the South,
the Empire State of the North voted
for Cleveland, as did Indiana, Connec-
ticut and New Jersey.
There is good reason for the National
enthusiasm that greets Grover Cleve-
land everywhere. He is the first Pres
ident since before the war who has
been called to the chair of Washing ton
by a popular vote to which all sections
of the Union have contributed in some
thing like equal proportions. Boston

death watch wished him CHEEKY "good
morning."
Fischer expressed desire to wash him
self, and guarded by six turkeys, he was
taken to the faucet at the further end of
the cage, where for months the con-
demned men have held daily levees with
their friends and relatives. As he
emerged from the cell he stood still for a
moment and looked in a strange, inquir-
ing way at the telegraph instrument,
which at that moment was sending his
every movement throughout the country.
When he reached the stationary wash
stand he turned the faucet with a sharp
Jerk, plunged his hands into the cold
water and plentifully besprinkled his face
and neck Then he rubbed himself briskly
with a towel, surveyed himself in the
glass and indicated with a nod to his
keenars that he was ready to return.

him from the matron's

cured, and he emptied three large wine-
glasses, filled to the brim.
Spies ceased his writing long enough to
light cigar, crossed his legs, and then re-
sumed his work. He was in an atti tude OF
perfect ease. There was self-satIsf1ed
look on his face as the pen flew over the
pages, and as he blew the smoke from his
cigar into wreaths he looked more Ike
contented and happy business man in his
office than a criminal whose sands OF lie
Were nearly run out.
At s:25 a. m. Spies quit writing, and
calling TO the death-watch asked for a
couple of envelopes. They were furnished
him. With great elaboration he folded
the paper upon which he had been writing
and placed three pages in one envelope
and two in another. These he sealed and
directed, and then resuming his easy posi-
ton and his cigar he gazed contempla-
lively through the bars up at the sky
light.

After the Execution.

CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-Prof. w. A. Sullivan,
a professional embalmer of Boston, &C.
companied by DR.. j. j. Morrison, Charles
Hager and C. Fl. Saunters, embalmers of
this city, went to the undertaking estab-
lishment at No. 496 Milwaukee avenue
yes erday afternoon to prepare for burial
the bodies of Spies, Fischer and Parsons.
The body of Spies was embalmed first
and turned over to his mother w ho took
it home late in the evening. The EN-
balmers are still at work on the bodies of
Parson and Fischer.
Judging from the appearances Of the
bodies," said Prof. Sullivan to a reporter,
''the hanging of these men was a
thoroughly scientific piece of work. I did
not witness the execution, and my judg-
ment upon the skill with which it was
managed is based upon my observation of
the appearance of the bodies which I am
now working upon. Yes, Engel was the

STATE CATTLE COMMISSION.
The Towns of bennington and Shaftsbur!
Quarantined.

BENNINGTON, April 10-L. A. Drew of
Burlington and f. n. Bissell of Shore
ham, of the State cattle commission re
turned home Saturday from this county,
where they had been investigating as to
the alleged prevalence of pleuro-pneumo-
mia. They were accompanied by DR.. C. l..
Allen of Rutland of the State board of
health, and DR.. j. f. Page, of Manchester,
veterinary surgeon. After a thorough
investigation they announce that so far
they have found no cases of pleuro pneu-
monla IN the State, but.they found dis
ease prevalent which is something new
and which no one has yet been able to
name. Under the circumstances the com
mission decided to quarantine the towns
OF Bennington and SALISBURY in which
the cases were found to await the result
of their investigation. Mr.. Drew of the
commission received letter from DR.: A
w. Cheever, chairman of the Massachu-
sett's board, stating that the case which
was supposed to be from this county, and
which led to the quarantine of the States
of Vermont and New York, was not from
Bennington, but from Salem n. Y. A
prominent drover informed the commits
sion that there were 100 cars of cattle
that had been stopped between the Cana
dian boarder and the Massachusetts line.
1t is expected that the commission will
hold a conference in Burlington to-day
at which all the commissioners will be
present at which important action will be
taken.

NEW YORK, April 7.-EX-Rear- Admiral
Commodore j. c. Barron of the New

rumor that he has purchased the sloop
Mayflower:fro Gen. Paine was true. He
said: You may say there are negotia-
tons pending for the purchase of the boat
and that shall probably buy her."
Commodore Barron declined to say
whether the yacht if he purchased her
was to be bought subject to her engage
ment to race with the British cutter Ar
row. From another source it was learn
ed that Commodore Barron had purchased
the sloop subject to her British engag-
ment, but intends to have her back in
time TO have her enter for the race with
the British cutter Thistle in October next
There probably will be some trial races
between Gen. Paine's new sloop, the May
Hover, the Puritan, the Priscilla and the
Atlantic in September and choice will
be made by the committee from these
nve yachts and the fastest selected to de-
fend the cup.
